One thing though, that golden wolf helmet looked really cute and non-threatening. I suppose it's the short muzzle and the cartoonish teeth...

That's actually what I thought of the live action version. The helmet, mostly the actual costume, looks actually funny rather than threatening, it was when it's turned into the CGI counterpart it looks more awesomely terrifying, especially the Ryuuga/YamiTera's Garo. And the Equip and Prop action figure line took it to another level with its own redesign.

Because another half the time, the fight actually so short when Garo armor is summoned. One slash/stab short
